Features and Functions

(Continued)

DigitalMedia 8G+

DigitalMedia 8G+ provides a true one-wire transport for moving high-definition

video, audio, and Ethernet over low-cost twisted pair cable without compression or

repeaters. Engineered for ultra high bandwidth and ultimate scalability, DM 8G+

handles uncompressed video beyond high definition with support for HDCP, Deep

Color, and 3D. Audio capabilities include support for high bitrate 7.1 audio formats

such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio as well as uncompressed linear

PCM. All signals are transported over one 8-conductor twisted pair cable (sold

separately), supporting distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) using Crestron DM 8G

cable or CAT5e.

HDBaseT

DigitalMedia 8G+ technology is designed using HDBaseT Alliance specifications,

ensuring interoperability with third-party HDBaseT products. Via its DM 8G+ input,

the DM-RMC-100-C can be connected directly to any HDBaseT compliant source

without requiring a DM transmitter. HDBaseT connectivity through the

DM-RMC-100-C converges uncompressed full HD digital video, audio, Ethernet,

power and control signals through a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable over distances up

to 328 feet (100 meters).

Multimedia Display Interface

A single HDMI digital AV output port is provided on the DM-RMC-100-C,

supporting HD 1080p video and WUXGA computer signals with HDCP, Deep

Color, 3D, and multi-channel HD lossless audio—all through one connection.

The HDMI output can also handle DVI signals using an appropriate adapter or

interface cable.

A single cable connects the DM-RMC-100-C to a DM switcher or transmitter or to

an HDBaseT source (each sold separately), transporting video, audio, control,

networking, and power signals through one RJ-45 connection.

1, 2

Multiple

DM-RMC-100-Cs may be installed to handle each display in a multi-room

distribution system, all fed from a central DM switcher. Or, a single

DM-RMC-100-C can be fed straight from a DM 8G+ transmitter, affording a very

simple solution for extending a computer or AV signal to a single display.

1. Receiving Power over DM (PoDM) or Power over HDBaseT (PoH) requires connection to a switcher

or other equipment that has a PoDM or PoH PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) port.

2. For DM 8G+ wiring, use Crestron DM-CBL-8G DigitalMedia 8G cable, Crestron DM-CBL

DigitalMedia cable, Crestron DM-CBL-D DigitalMedia D cable, or generic CAT5e (or better) UTP or

STP. Maximum wire length for DM 8G+ is 330 feet (100 meters) between devices. Shielded cable

and connectors are recommended to safeguard against unpredictable environmental electrical noise

which may impact performance at resolutions above 1080p. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron

DigitalMedia Design Guide (Doc. 4546) for complete system design guidelines. DM 8G+ is also

compatible with HDBaseT Alliance specifications for connecting to HDBaseT compliant equipment.

All wire and cables sold separately.

3. HDMI requires an appropriate adapter or interface cable to accommodate a DVI signal. CBL-HD-DVI

interface cable sold separately.

LAN Connectivity

Along with high-definition AV and control, DigitalMedia also integrates high-speed

Ethernet networking for a total signal distribution solution. The DM-RMC-100-C

includes a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet port, providing a convenient LAN

connection for a local network device.

Embedded Device Control

The DM-RMC-100-C includes built-in RS-232, IR, and Ethernet control ports to

allow programmable control of the display device connected to it. It can also provide

an alternative to such conventional control methods by harnessing the CEC

(Consumer Electronics Control) signal embedded in HDMI. Through its connection

to the control system, the DM-RMC-100-C provides a gateway for controlling the

display device through the HDMI connection, potentially eliminating the need for

any dedicated control wires or IR emitters.

Low-Profile Installation

The DM-RMC-100-C mounts conveniently on a wall, ceiling, or other flat surface.

At just one inch deep, it fits easily behind a flat panel display or above a ceiling

mounted projector. All connections and LED indicators are positioned on the sides,

ensuring optimal access and visibility for a clean, serviceable installation. An array

of indicators is provided for easy setup and troubleshooting.

When wiring the DM network, consider the following:

 Use Crestron Certified Wire.

 Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

CAUTION: Failure to use Crestron power supplies could cause equipment

damage or void the Crestron warranty.

 Provide sufficient power to the system.

 For DM 8G+ wiring, use Crestron DM-CBL-8G DigitalMedia 8G cable,

Crestron DM-CBL DigitalMedia cable, Crestron DM-CBL-D DigitalMedia

D cable, or generic CAT5e (or better) UTP or STP. Maximum wire length

for DM 8G+ is 330 feet (100 meters) between devices. Shielded cable and

connectors are recommended to safeguard against unpredictable

environmental electrical noise which may impact performance at resolutions

above 1080p. Refer to the latest version of the Crestron DigitalMedia

Design Guide (Doc. 4546) for complete system design guidelines. DM 8G+

is also compatible with HDBaseT Alliance specifications for connecting to

HDBaseT compliant equipment.

The DM-RMC-100-C also uses high-speed Ethernet for communications between

the device and a control system, computer, media server, and other IP-based devices.

For general information on connecting Ethernet devices in a Crestron system, refer to

the latest version of the Crestron e-Control



Reference Guide (Doc. 6052), which is

available from the Crestron Web site (www.crestron.com/manuals

). For information

specifically related to Ethernet connectivity using DigitalMedia devices, refer to the

latest version of the Crestron IP Considerations Guide for the IT Professional (Doc.

4579), which is also available from the Crestron Web site

(www.crestron.com/dmresources

Identity Code

NOTE: In the SIMPL Windows program, the IP ID of the DM-RMC-100-C is

assigned automatically and does not require additional programming when the

DM-RMC-100-C is dropped onto an output card of a DM switcher. Use the

information below when the DM-RMC-100-C is dropped directly into an Ethernet

slot on the control system in SIMPL Windows without a DM switcher.

The IP ID is set within the DM-RMC-100-C IP table using Crestron Toolbox™.

For information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.

The IP IDs of multiple DM-RMC-100-C devices in the same system must be unique.

When setting the IP ID, consider the following:

 The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL

Windows program.

 Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a

unique IP ID.
